Whenever I've used the tether on my N1 it will always connect, but it only stay connect for sometimes 30 minutes and other times 3 minutes. Once the connection drops I have to restart the phone to start a new connection. This happens in random places and it does not matter if I have it tethered through USB or not. Any suggestions on whats going on?
Right now I am on MicroMods Gingerbread.
I suggest wiping everything (NANDROID FIRST OF COURSE), then reflashing!
This fixed my tethering woes.
since the 2.2 rom that enabled OS tethering I have had this problem. I have done many complete wipes. Just installed the gingerbread on my phone last night after a complete wipe.
Perhaps try flashing a new radio? im on 5.12, and have gotten great battery life on top of flawless tethering.
Other than that, unsure what to do. Maybe switch to cyanogen and hold off on Gingerbread?
may it be a problem of Wifi sleep policy? try set it "never"
I'm on Cyan 6.1 and just looked thru my wifi settings and I don't see anything for "sleep policy".
Where do you have that option at?
If you really need tethering--
I have used PDANet and Tether, formally Tetherberry
Tether works great--it does have a one time cost

First off, I have tried searching for this issue, but haven't had any luck, so I thought I would give this new thread a go.
I am trying to connect via my G1's (ok Rogers Dream to be more specific) wifi internet connection but having no luck. It was working once upon a time, I guess a few variables have changed, mainly my flashing between many different ROMs. Either case I have noticed this issue only recently, on a HERO Rom, and Cyan 4.0.1.
I am able to tether through my Phone Data Plan (3G), no issues. But for Wifi, as soon as I click "Start", my phone turns off my wifi and auto. turns on 3G.
Anyone have any ideas? My last resort is to due a full restore on my phone, I was hoping there is a more simple solution. Also, I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app.
Thanks

Did you restart the phone? This happens every now and then, and a restart will fix it.
Hey, I had to apk's fo rthis the signed_andtether_1_52-pre2.apk did not work. The file labeled Signed_andtetehr_1_52.apk works everytime.

Wait, wait, wait.
You have a Wireless Connection available, why are you tethering your G1? Can't your laptop just pick up the wireless connection? I am confused.

Exactly. lol. Well what the program does is disable your wifi so you can tether using your data connection. Thats the purpose of the program. So from the way you presented your information, you want to tether using your phones wifi connection to access the wifi router from your laptop?
Well, if your laptop (or other device) only has bluetooth, you can use Wireless Tethering for Root Users to share the phone's WIFI connection over the bluetooth connection. If that is what you are trying to accomplish.... not sure.

Haha, busted. Ok, well I don't necessarily need to go through my Wifi of my phone, because yes I have it on my laptop. I just know it used to work, now it doesn't.
Secondly, to the suggestion of rebooting my phone, well I would assume that installing a new ROM would constitute a reboot. Also reinstalling the apk would probably do the same, still though, nothing fixed it.
Sometimes my depending where I am in my house I put my phone halfway between my router and my laptop to strengthen my laptop signal, so, using it as an access point.
So, my internet has been dead for 1 1/2 days now. First hour I though maybe sprint network was down or something? I dunno. But now I cant even get a connection. Calls are still being made, incoming/outgoing. I have The newest fresh rom 2.1, with the new radio. I've checked the settings, all internet connection related is turned on. So whats happening?

=] Get your ass back to Giz. and in the IRC... NOW.
I can verify that this is happening with me as well. Only happens when I try to run wireless tether, my data connections is completely gone for some time, even though data is enabled. I upgraded my friends phone to the sprint leaked version (no root required) and she too is ha ving problems w/ her data connection. Any ideas?
Tried on DamageControl 2.08 as well as Fresh 2.0d same outcome w/ the wireless tether, as soon as the it connects it completely shuts off the data connection in my phone. Wireless tether worked prior to this happening.
Well you see, its like this. The internet... well, its not a big truck. Its not something you just DUMP something on. The internet.. its a series of tubes!
JK. Seriously though, toggling airplane mode on and off should fix you right up.
Thanks a lot, definitely resets the data connection for the phone. Any tips to get wireless tether to work properly again ?

Hello, recently my wifi has been acting up. Sometimes it will say it is connected to my wifi network but no web pages or anything work. It happens after I leave my phone in standby for a while, and it will usually start working after restarting my wifi. After I restart wifi so many times it will disconnect even when it's not in standby (and more often) and then eventually the wifi switch on my home screen stops working.
I'm running Android 2.2 Froyo Cyanogen Mod 6 RC2 FRF84B using the jdlfg 2.6.32.9 overclock 300 mhz+1200 MHz kernal.

ok sounds like there could be two reason for this, either the rom or your router. First make sure you have the latest radio for your phone. If possible try a different rom or a nanadroid restore. on to the router, do you have other wireless devices in your home? Are you experiencing this issue on any other device? You may want to try connecting your phone to a different wifi connection just for testing. connect to any available open connection and test to see if the phone does the same thing on a different wifi connection. Now if it does then you know it's most likely an issue with your phone. if that's the case you would want to focus on the rom and or your radio.
If you do not have the same issue after connecting to a different wifi connection then it's not the phone but your home network. You will need to trouble shoot your router, good luck
I'm fairly sure it isn't my rom, although I did only notice it when I started wifi tethering on 2.2 (I never tried it on Eclair though, I only decided to root when I heard Froyo had been leaked). I'm on Cyanogen (I used to be on the stock froyo) and I still get the same problem, I also updated my baseband and I still get the same problem. As for my router I doubt it, my laptop never seems to disconnect along with my wii and any xbox my friends bring over. My sister's Droid also doesn't seem (emphasis on seem, she's not a power user or anything of the sort and I'm not even sure if she has her phone on wifi half of the time, and neither is she, the last time I checked it was connected though) have any problems (she just has a stock Droid, nothing special).
I've tried a newer version of Froyo (I don't have the latest build though atm, but that's because Cyanogen doesn't support it yet).
Does the Droid connect to wifi in any special way that other devices don't? If so then my router might still be a suspect, as I admit the firmware it's running on is glitchy (it actually worked better before I updated it (I was trying to get some remote router switch on my PC to work with it)).
Edit: I discovered recently that no other wifi networks come up when wifi bugs out, although it seems to only happen sometimes.
Fixed the problem, apparently it's caused by a glitch in the settings, when you change the wifi sleep mode settings so that it doesn't sleep after idling for so long the phone assumes it's been changed but it doesn't actually change. Downloading WifiPowerSavingOff fixed it.
Hey, in the last few weeks I've run into a very annoying bug on my phone. Wi-fi turns itself off after about 2 minutes. It doesn't actually "turn itself off" in the phone - and by that I mean that the wifi icon is still there, and I can see the signal strength, but the internet won't work.
In order to fix it, I have to turn the wifi off and then on again.
I've tried using the Wifi Fixer application, but it doesn't help. It can't seem to detect when I lose my internet connection.
I've also troubleshooted it, checking that it occurs on different routers/types of networks.
I'm sure it's a problem with my phone, but I dont really want to reformat my phone until Froyo comes (since I don't want to have to install all my apps twice).
Is there any solution to this? ;z
I'm on stock rom, JF3, with OCLF.
I have the same problem with my phone. My Wi-Fi at home works just fine, but when I go to my brother's house, I seem to occasionally lose internet connection even though it shows that it's still connected to the Wi-Fi. I have stock Bell ROM with OCLF by RyanZA. Oh, and to fix it I simply turn Wi-Fi off, and then on, and it starts working again.
Bump :x
Anyone have a solution?
My DROID Bionic's wifi doesn't work at all anymore. It was working just fine a couple of days ago. The phone got REALLY overheated so I dont know if that was the issue. When I go into wifi settings and try to connect to a wifi network it only says "Turning wi-fi on..." I was running the ICS leak .2233 at the time and FXZ'd to .902 and updated to stock ICS. Also, when I try to connect it also says "No nearby Bluetooth devices were found." Its odd because im in the wi-fi tab, not the bluetooth tab. I would really appreciate some replies. Thank you.
WiFi on mine stopped working in stock ICS. It would just continually attempt to grab an IP and then disconnect and reconnect. Forgetting the connection and reentering the key did not help. Oddly enough it worked fine in CM10JB. Not really wanting to mess with it I did a factory data reset (after backing up both ROM slots) and it started working again. It may have been heavy handed but it's going again...
